Imagine that you are voting on the Hall of Fame, to commemorate the most iconic character names in the 30 years of Transformers history.

Which ten names are most iconic or recognised in the Transformers franchise... including names most often used.

After a few weeks, or when the topic becomes dormant, I'll tally up the results.

(note - names not characters, so Megatron is all Megatrons throughout history, and Optimus is all Optimus' including Primal and Prime... and spelling variations can count like Laserbeak/Lazorbeak, Slag/Slug, Shrapnel/Skrapnel if anyone thinks they are top-ten material)
